Even hotter off the presses!!

Careful, don’t burn yourself!!!

As you might be suspecting by now, we’re very excited about this latest release
of the Ambisonic Toolkit for SuperCollider3 here at
ATK Central. We’d really like to thank the
SuperCollider Development Team
for all the hard work getting this latest release out. Thanks everyone!

As you know, the README’s
List of Changes
summarizes the main new Features, Updates and Fixes. You’ll see we’ve made quite
a few additions and clarifications to the
Documentation. The
SynthDef and NRT examples for ATK
page is much more verbose—which we expect will be much more helpful. We’ve
made a very useful improvement for working with kernel encoders and decoders in
Non-Realtime.
This was kinda tricky before, as
OSC message bundles had to
be explicitly managed by the user… which wasn’t so fun. That’s now handled
behind the scenes, all to make NRT Ambisonics fun again!

Other Cool Stuff? We’ve added support for reading and writing
Matrix Files.
What does that mean? Well… in the longer term, it’ll lead to closer
integration with ATK Reaper. We’ll be able to design a
custom matrix (Encoder, Transformer, Decoder) in ATK SC3 and then use it in
Reaper. It’ll also mean we’ll be able to author
matrices via external tools, say the
Ambisonic Decoder Toolbox,
for use with the ATK. In the short term, matrix reading and writing improves the
workflow for custom matrix design.

Also, we’d like to reiterate the wide range of supported sample rates:

44100

48000

88200

96000

176400

192000

To get this support you’ll need to download and install
ATK Kernels v.1.2.1,
if you haven’t already. (Of course you already
knew!)
